A modified LIN demolitionmech autonomous minelayer,[1] "The Beast" was 0.56 meters in height[2] and had a white light emerging on a stalk from the top of its black dome, along with a pair of antennas. The droid moved on a pair of treads. The word "BEAST," written in Aurebesh, was scratched into the front of its body and it was modified with a gun extending from a silver arm. A key could be inserted vertically into its left side, and turning it horizontally triggered an automatic black box device, which slowly extended from the droid while making sound. "Chopper,"[3] a clone trooper,[5] wired up a mission chip that could be placed into the slot. A red button was pressed to activate it, after which the black box would retract into its body.[3]
